Tips for a Smooth Relocation

Moving is one of the most labor-intensive household projects. It can be overwhelming unless you take measures such as the following to keep it under control.

Plan early: Unless your reason for moving is abrupt, you will have at least a month's notice to get prepared. Outline the tasks you have to carry out in a checklist to ensure that you finish all chores in time. Pack in bits from day to day to avoid getting fatigued.

De-Clutter your house: Since you will have to peruse everything that you own, it will be an opportune time to toss the things you no longer need. Hold a yard sale or drop your slightly used clothes and furniture at thrift stores.

Figure out a dispatch strategy: Depending on consignment size and the distance to your destination, you can employ two options. A group of friends and a rented truck may be sufficient for shifting across the street. However, it's prudent to hire a moving company for a long-distance relocation or if you have a substantial amount of things.

Supplies: You will need plenty of boxes and other materials to accommodate everything. Find out if your movers can supply them or visit a local store. Most of the moving boxes should be small to medium-sized since they are easier to handle especially along corridors and stairs.

Essentials: Select the essentials which you will need immediately after arriving and pack them together. The items might include toilet paper, trash bags, cleaning agents, light bulbs, changing clothes, etc.

Benefits of Hiring a Moving Company

Professional movers usually achieve higher safety standards in relocations than people moving by themselves. Specialized movers are qualified for the job; hence there is limited breakage of items and personal injuries.

Moving companies provide a direct estimate. You don't need to know the cost of the necessary materials or to approximate their quantities. You can plan for funding better since there won't be unexpected costs.

If you are looking for reliable service, hire a professional moving company. The firm works by contract. Therefore, you know which services to expect and at what time and price. Relying on friends raises uncertainty since you aren't sure if they will even show up when needed.

There are no accountability issues when you outsource a moving company. The movers keep an inventory of your items allowing you to confirm the state of the consignment at the destination. They provide compensation for loss or damage to items.

Satisfied Customers

“I am meticulous when it comes to everything. At first, I was thinking of just driving all the way to Illinois from New Jersey. A friend recommended me to go to A1 Auto Transport and told me a lot of good things about them. I refused initially because I had filed a 4 day leave just to drive and visit my mother. But things did not go well. My boss asked me to cancel my leave because a very important client asked for an urgent meeting, and the manager could not attend to it. I was hopeless and took the risk of asking help from A1. The notice was short and I forgot I needed to inform them in advance. After a couple of hours, I received a call and they told me they found a way to book me with no extra fees. I am so thankful I got to attend to my work matters. I did not get to see my mother, but the vehicle and items inside it were in perfect condition as if it was me who took care of it. I owe you guys big time! I got one huge deal from our client.”

“The plan was to ship my car from California to Utah. I went through nearly 20 quotes after using an auto shipping site which linked to a bunch of brokers. Finally, I found A1 Auto Transport, a company with its own trucks with great reviews. I was sold. Joe was very competent, gave off the impression he’d done this a million times, and it really showed throughout the transport. He listened to my request carefully, offered me several options, stayed in touch during the transport, and made sure I was happy with everything. Overall, a great company which I would definitely recommend to others!”

“I’m so glad I met you Joe!! A truly fortunate experience. Having to transport a car to Minnesota, I was stunned to see the company, who was supposed to take care of it, just vanish. I couldn’t reach them anymore, like they went bankrupt overnight. However, I was lucky enough to not pay anything, so I simply researched some more until I found A1 Auto Transport. Joe answered my call the first time and we soon agreed on a date and a quote. Unfortunately, I got caught up in work and forgot about it. The order was not confirmed, so Joe must’ve thought I changed my mind. I called him the next day and arranged for a new date. This time, I made a note on my phone and it went well. I replied to his email this time, and the driver arrived at a parking lot down the street on time, as promised. The driver was nice enough to not mention my previous mistake. He delivered my car in just 3 days. Upon careful inspection, there were no scratches or damage done to it during transport. Joe was there along with the driver and they both waited patiently until I was satisfied. Thanks!”

A truly fortunate experience.

“A1 Auto is kind of like your favourite mom and pop pizza parlour, the one you can’t get enough of despite all the new, expensive avant-garde pizza shops that have mushroomed conspicuously across the entire neighbourhood and seem to have taken over the whole world...but not you. Because you value quality and genuine customer service, and know this business understands and works doubly hard to give you your money’s worth. I’ve been using A1 Auto Transport whenever I left California for business: they may not be the cheapest car transporters around, but the sheer professionalism, dedication, and heart they put into their work is just amazing and worth my every dime. I’m probably one of the most sceptical people you would ever meet. I’m rarely convinced when bombarded with dubious, self-congratulating ads of companies that look like they’ve spent tons of money on marketing materials just to lure your average guy in. A1 Auto Transport is the complete opposite of these companies. My car always arrived promptly on schedule, never with a hint of scratch or dirt or damage, and they keep me updated every step of the process. When you’ve found a company whose genuine care for their customers comes naturally, you stand by them no matter what. It’s the most logical thing to do.”

“A1 Auto Transport helped me move a vehicle to Iowa from Houston. I was a bit nervous, no knowing much about such services. Thanks to Joe, I was able to clear the fog a little. He answered all my questions and explained everything in a way that left no room for interpretation. The details were straightforward. I picked Sunday as the pickup date, since I wasn’t at work, and they accommodated me. The truck arrived an hour early, yet the driver patiently waited for me to arrive. He thoroughly checked my car for scratches or anything that might affect the transport then drove it onto the truck. I was given a 2 day time window during which the car was supposed to arrive in, and it got to Iowa in the evening of the first day. The trip didn’t damage it at all. Next time a friend wants to move, I’ll surely recommend A1 Auto Transport.”
